# How to track a file changes in c# .net 4.5

Hi [Expert](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/13120/an-expert-financial-advice-will-improve-your-finances)!\
I'm [writing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12997/5-essential-tips-on-resume-writing-for-business-analysts) a kinda "virus" for my co-[worker](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12025/how-to-combat-cybercrime-as-a-remote-worker): whenever he tries to open IE, The [program](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/12337/scaling-up-your-mentorship-program) will shut it down and randomly open [firefox](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159398/any-way-to-disable-firefox-4-textarea-resizing-handles-please-help), [chrome](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/303260/discover-google-s-latest-ip-protection-privacy-test-feature-in-chrome) or opera. but the [problem](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81399/tackling-the-problem-of-unemployment-during-corona-pandemic) is I don't want him to solve it simply by changing the [file](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/59/encrypting-and-decrypting-files-using-c-sharp)'s [name](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/87450/how-to-generate-a-brand-name-using-linkedin-comprehensive-guide) or [location](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/11636/relocating-business-or-office-to-another-location). is there a way i can know if a file's name or location changed?

Hi Aaron!\
Try this\
**var ie = Process.GetProcesses()** **.FirstOrDefault(p => p.ProcessName.Equals("iexplore"));****if (ie != null)** **ie.Kill();**
